    Many Denominations

    A Christian voting for President now may be a sin

    Voting is a privilege in america that many countries do not have or only appear to have. We are not voting for Pastors or Elders, we are voting for human govt. Paul appealed to Cesar and used his rights as a Roman citizen to advance, we should do the same. there will be no perfect candidate...

    UAW will not talk today.

    Well seeing as America was founded on rebellion against government, striking is a natural outcome of that. Strikes are against the Word of god no matter how bad the employer may be.

    What do people's spirits look like?

    Don't know. and God has considered it irrelevant for us to know in this life. If it was important for us to know, He would have made sure it made it in Scripture.

    The Bible teaches repentance unto confession, not confession unto repentance

    You arew right, repentance is unto confession unto salvation! After we are believers we no longer need repentance for we have already changed our mind, but growth in knowledge (Romans 12) and the confession to forgiveness as a believer.

    Why hadn't the baptized believers in Samaria received the Holy Spirit?

    The reason is a complicated theological reason. Peter had the keys of the kingdom. At Pentecost, only the upper room received the infilling of the spirit which was brand new and is what makes one born again. Peter preached the first Christian sermon to jews- having the keys and unlocking...

    The twelfth Apostle

    Possibly. It is an interesting poser to think about. That God had Paul in mind and the 11 chose Matthias. Whether true or not, Matthias was a duly appointed Apostle and so was Paul.

    Were they Jesus's siblings?

    As I said we have beat this dead horse useless. We will allow eternity to show us whether your convoluted opinioned way of making Mary ever virgin and Jesus th eonly son is right or not.

    We are judged by works, not by faith

    I already repented teh one and only time on ehas to- that was to get saved! Now I do not repent of sin, but follow Gods command of 1 JOhn 1:9 and acknowledge my sin to my Father. He forgives and cleanses despite your sinless perfection fallacy. god views us a s sinless, He no longer sees our...

    Were they Jesus's siblings?

    read your posts 81 and 190. One is a strong implied Mary had sex and the other more direct you ceded the point. Firstborn - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firstborn A firstborn (also known as an eldest child or sometimes firstling) is the first child born to in the birth order of a...

    We are judged by works, not by faith

    Only in your mind! I desire with all my hear to attain sinlessness, but until that day, I am saved sealed, redeem,ed, perfected, justified and being sancrtified. YOu are under a delusion that you have ceased from sinning and never give in to your fallen human nature which is still alive and...

    Were they Jesus's siblings?

    So all that conceding on y0our part about Mary having sex was a lie then. OK be well. this thread is too big for me to go back and show you admitted it. Lying is unbecoming of you. Bu ttime will tell. time to end this. Have the last word if you wish.

    Were they Jesus's siblings?

    Well we have beateen this dead horse to further death. We agree to disagree and heaven will show. But the fact that you now admit Mary had sex with Joseph after Jesus was born and thus fully capable of children is a great movement on your part. the rest, time will show

    Were they Jesus's siblings?

    No you just provided opinions of writers that cannot override the fact that the most professional concordances and Lexicons do not recognize "kinsmen" as a use of "adelphos" in the NT. And yet you lack that common sense when it comes to understanding Matt. 13:55 to support Roman Catholic dogma...

    tick bite causes an auto-immune disease where a person cannot eat red meat or take some medications, it can be deadly

    Maybe, maybe not. With the rate of mutations in the lower forms of life (viruses, bacteria, ticks and many other insects) this may have been a naturallt occuring mutation in the lone star tick that affects humans. There are far easioer and more cost effective way to get people from eating red...

    Putting on Christ is living like Jesus

    Well as you are sinlessly perfect now as you claim, you have no more need of teaching us mere believers who are gorwin g in grace and knowledge of Jesus. You have already reached perfection so there is no more need for you to grow anymore!

    Thoughts on Comparing Translations in Bible Study

    Literal translations are still the best. When translated from greek to English as the English stands. Dynamic equivalents work to give the accurate thought as opposed to a modern equivalent word. this leads to lots of subjectivity and error. The best English New Testament is Kittles. but...

    Were they Jesus's siblings?

    According to Mounce, but all the rest disagree. So you found one who supports your agenda. Now show why He should be listened to above the PHD's in Koine Greek. Just so you know what kind of scholar you picked: William D. Mounce From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia �������������...

    We are judged by works, not by faith

    Now you lie. I despise the lie that conceived it and has you held captive in its evil. But as you now have resorted to lying about me, to me- Have the last word, for I am done with one who is a liar.

    Heaven - When?

    Now we do, but not before Jesus ascended, they went to Paradise/Abrahams bosom.
